ALIQUIPPA (KDKA) — A fatal shooting in Aliquippa earlier this week has prompted a meeting of community leaders in an effort to send out a message to people that police are serious about cracking down on crime.

Mayor Dwan Walker convened a meeting at City Hall, announcing plans to beef up police patrols in the city with the help of the Beaver County Sheriff.

Walker also said the city will begin putting more emphasis on its late night curfew for juveniles who are out past 11 p.m.

“There’s a mother crying right now and she wants closure and we need to give it to her,” he said.
